Ah, sorry. I think I just misunderstood your previous post.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Talking about the sound in the clip? I'm not hearing too much low on the voice. Just 100-400 or so room decay.
Don't know the mic but doubting it's proximity effect problem. Too far away if anything. ( at least closer- if you picked up some proximity effect, it'll be 'drier'- and you can then low shelf 0-- to a few hundred and kill two birds with one
I'm guessing here -just applying what you pick up along the way you know
I'd be looking more at the 'big lobes all around top bottom and sides. The back's down dozens of dB :>)What is behind the mic when you're recording? The NTG3 is a super cardioid which has a small node of sensitivity projecting to the rear of the mic. Wondering if what could be picked up from behind if there is a close wall may be causing some odd phasing issues that are possible reason for a boomy/bassy sound. The wall behind the desk likely isn't helping much. Just as an experiment have you any blankets that you could hang behind the mic and behind yourself or others means to make a recording in a room that may not have as many acoustic reflections.
I think a distance of 12-14 inches was mentioned. I may be wrong in the case of this particular mic, but I don't see proximity coming into play at this distance.
I think someone posted a High Pass Filter earlier- 'HPF.. also know as a low cut' It starts at a chosen frequency and keeps sloping down on the freqs below. That's one option. A low shelf is similar but it's flat and lowers all the frequencies the same amount below the setting."low shelf 0-- to a few hundred" can you please explain... sorry for my noobishness
a few of things here are kinda going over my head, sorry
Yes, but I should have been clearer.He doesn't want the mic in the shot. So, at a foot or so away, the room becomes a big issue.
The fact that the room was an issue with a lav (albeit an omni) tells you that the room is simply terrible to record in.
